Mori-ill , Olialriiinn lU'iniblleiin State Con
trnl ( 'nintnlttre : Upar Sir In triulpr-
IIIK my rosiRnntli n to the lute rcpnblU-nii
stale convention as member of the na
tional committee I preferred grave
charges against Thomas J. Majors , ( ho
candidate for governor , affecting hl olll-
clnl integrity and conduct which should
bar him from holding any public otllce of.
lionnr and trust , The only answers lo
these charges so far made by the sup
porters of Colonel Majors from the
.stump and In the press have been at
tempts to Impugn my motives and to as
sail my veracity. Colonel Majors him
self tins not met these nccunatlonH
siiiirely | : , but has simply sought lo
counteract their effect by misquoting
public leeimls nnd throwing dust to
rover his own tracks.
Now , these charges are either true or
they are false. If trite no conscientious
republican , however much he may bo
devoted to his party principles , can cast
Ids vote for Thomas , F. Majors. If they
arc false and Mr. Majors has been
wrongfully accused and .slandered , he
not rest under this terrible nr-
ralgnnient. Manifestly It was the duly
of the republican slate committee to
Institute a searching inquiry slnd lire-
scut proofs to the voters of this state
Hint would exonerate and vindicate their
standard bearer.
Inasmuch as I have taken the ] <
of pointing out the indelible
spots In the otllelal career of Mr.
Majors , I now make you the following
proposition :
Let the charges be submitted for in
vestigation to the following named
I'rolestant clergymen , six of whom are
republicans and none of whom is a imp1
nllst , namely : Uev. Prank Crane of
the First Methodist church , Uev. Dr.
John < tordon of the Westminster I'res-
hylcrfnn church , Uev. A. .1. Turkic of
Ihi * Lutheran church , Itev. Newton
Mann of the Unitarian church , Kov.
Charles W. Wavldge of the People's
Church. Kev. S. W. Hut lor of the ( 'on-
givgiilional church alid Uev. .1. L. Hull-
man of the Swedish Mission church ,
If either of these- clergy men declines
to act then his place shall bo tilled by
any clergyman designated by the others.
The scope of their investigation shall
be confined to the following subjects :
1. The conduct of Thomas .1. Majors
as contingent congressman in connec
tion with the forged census returns as
rcport-'d by the house judiciary com
mittee of which lion. Thomas It. Ueed
was chairman.
i. . The conduct of Thomas .1. Majors
in certifying to a fraudulent voucher
made payable lo Senator Tayloi after he
had abseonded from the state , and also
tin-duplicity of Mr. Majors In publicly
asserting that Taylor had served sixty
Ihree days of the session , excluding Sun
days.
: t. The conduct of Thomas .1. Majors
in converting the lieutenant governor's
nflice adjacent to ( lie senate chamber
into n lira in shop unit ivsorl for tlio
i I II ( ( t f ti * | lllli i .Tril * " /L tlf
s while tin- legislature ; was IN
vl'SSlllll.
Tlit' investigation to be conducted with
upon doors and all parties to have fair
hearing within reasonable time ; the in
vestigation to begin within throe days
and lo conclude within a week.
I agree in advance to cheerfully abide
the ( hidings , whatever they may be.
Awaiting a prompt reply , I remain.
very truly yours.
K. HOSKWATIflll.
This letter was delivered to Mr. Mor-
rlll on the evening of last Tuesday.
The response was received last night ,
and reads as follows :
OMAHA , Oct. 24. Mr. 13. Hosowater ,
Omuhn : Dear Sir Replying to your com
munication of Octoher 23 , addressed to me
us chairman of the republican atutf central
committee. I enclose herewith , on behalf of
myself ami of the committee , a letter from
linn. Thomas J. MjjorB , republican candidate
for Koverncr. I have nothing more to add ,
except that. In my Judgment and that of my
atacclales , the answer Is full and sufficient.
Very truly yours. C. II. MOIUULL.
Chairman Republican State Central Com
mittee.
Accompanying this response Is a very
lengthy screed signed by Majors , teem
ing with personal abuse and coupled
with an umiualllled refusal to submit to
any Investigation of bis conduct , either
by the clergymen above named or anybody -
body else. Inasmuch as we have
neither the space nor Inclination to enter - .
tor Into a personal controversy with the
tattooed candidate , we do not deem It
worth while to publish his slanderous
tirade.
A
The campaign now at its very height
Is remarkable/ more ways than one.
It Is remarkable for the widespread In
terest exhibited by people who are usu
ally apathetic toward polities In "off"
years. It Is remarkable for the sharp
lines that have been drawn between the
contestants In so many states. It Is
niarknhle also for the Immense amount
of campaign speaking that has been
done nnd Is being done. The people of
this country have become accustomed to
being Hooded with oratory every four
years , when the policy of the national
government Is pre-eminently at * stake
and when a new president Is to be
elected , but they have not been used to
having the experience repeated regu
larly at the short Interval of two years.
The preliminary campaigns In Maine ,
CJeorgla and Vermont drew out n won
derful array of both home and foreign
orators. Nearly all the great republican
leaders took pleasure In making an ex.
curslon to Maine to help Increase the re
publican majority , which even the dcm
oerum had not the courage to belittle In
advance. Vermont wn llkowlxe well
by republican * ) , as the
tremendous defeat of the democrat * tes
tified. Down Into ( jeorgln were sent
some of the administration's .strongest
supporters , Speaker Crisp. Secretary
lloke .Smith and others , In a vain hope
of stemming the democratic ; rorululon ,
ind southern oratory was for weeks at
a discount within the bordere of that
stnto. Hlni'o these preliminary skir
mishes the other states have been per-
milled to share In the feast of reason ,
imong which addresses , slump speeches ,
joint debates and general discussion's
luive llgured most conspicuously. The
extended tour of ( 'overnor MoKlnley ,
upon which he sot the record for speechmaking -
making expeditions , followed as It was
b y his more recent , journey to Louisiana
md iI return by way of West Virginia
mil ! New York , Is something unparal
leled . ' lit American political history. Kx-
I'roHldcnt Harrison and ex-Speaker
Ueed have been making scarcely less
noticeable ! Impression with their ad
dresses to the clll/.cns of the
stifles. Nor Is the Mood of oratory
traceable exclusively 1o republican
sources. Vice President Stevenson. Am
bassador Bayard , several members of
the cabinet and Innumerable minor
lights of the democracy exerting their
utmost lo turn the tide of their party's
inpopulai'lty. The culmination of all
the movements will come Immediately
preceding the election , when it will be
'iitlrely ' proper to characterize the coun
try as one great living political mass
iiootlng.
II is too early lo hazard an opinion as
to whether this plan of campaigning has
omo ti > stay and whether It will be a
[ > ormaneut feature of all American elec
tions. II Is plain , nevertheless , that we
ire undergoing a change in campaign
methods and that spccchmaklng Is on
the Increase. Taking lids year as an
xamplo of a typical "oil" year tight for
state ( and congressional tickets , what
shall ] wo expect with the next presl-
lontinl 1 contest ' !
, is A.YON ( rituposuTiiix , .
The men who organized the Oinahii
u s VIM'S association for ilio i.r > m-
slblo object of saving the stale are for
: ho most part bankers and jobbers. The
lice has shown the mainspring of Hie
movement and the wheels within a
wheel that gave It momentum. The
men most.active in the work of ( heasso-
elation are either obligated to the railroad -
road managers or are In a position
whore they dan- not incur the dlspleas-
lire of the icncnil freight agents of tin ;
railroads centering In ( iinalia. To ihi so
would inevitably subject them to potty
persecution anil place tlii'in at a decided
disadvantage with tlu-tr competitors on-
loylng Ilii- favor of railroad rate makers.
Front tlie standpoint of tile Omaha joli-
l er , therefore , tliere may In- some jnstl-
Hcation for Hie stand they have- taken In
olieilteiu'c to the holiest of the mllroad
taskniiisters , lint tliere Is absolutely no
justification for ntir business sense in
,
the , stand taken in support of the railroad -
road i-andldate for governor.
What liave tlie retail merchants of
Omaha lo feu In by aligning theinselvos
wltli Hie hankoi's' '
and Jobbers' ornsaileV
\Vliy must they array llii > inselvi < s openly
hi opposition to tlie best inteivstn of the
musses , upon whose patroimjje they
rely for suhsistcnroY 'I'hey know of the
Inlireil antipnthy of the vjiilrnails towjird
Oiiialia. They know that tlie interests
of Omnlin and her people are not Ihe In
terests of the railroads , They innst
know that Majors is the preferred and
only candidate of the allied corporations
of this city and stale and that Silas A.'l
Holeonih is tlie candidate of the. pwiplo
the common people and that he has
no hacking save the iiiitrammelvd and
conscientious voters of Nebraska.
In the retail inurduuitK of Omaha
owe the railroads anything Do the
railroad depositories of Oinnlin carry the
vote of the retailers In their Inside
Is ? A merchant may borrow money
of a banker , but he must pay a xood in-
tomst rate and put nn collateral secnr-
ity. Tiiere Is no law , moral or written ,
compelling him to pledge his fraiiehise
as a free American citizen. Is It not
apparent to any thinking man that the
railroad , managers an1 simply using the
merchants as monkeys to pull their po
litical chestnuts out of the lire ?
\Ve admonish the retailers of Omaha
that they mistake tlio temper of their
patrons If they Imagine that success
awaits tliein In the direction pointed out
by pampered railroad beneficiaries. We
ask the wholesale Jobbers to bear in
mind that the country merchant Is
watching the record now being made by
them in behalf of n corrupt state house
ring and In opposition to the political
convictions of the patrons of country
tradesmen.

The campaign In Iowa ha.s thus far
been very one-sided , nnd Is likely to
continue so to the end. Only on the
part of the republicans Is there any ag-
gresslvoness or enthusiasm. The demo-
cratlc managers attempted to arouse an
Interest In the remnant of the party by
putting ex-Jovernor Holes on the
stump , but ho failed to realize their
holies. The people did not want pint I-
tudes and theories the wortldossness of :
which have been so strongly and severely -
verely demonstrated lo them during the
past eighteen months. They were not .
disposed to listen to the advocacy of a
policy the disastrous effects of which
have boon deeply Impressed upon them
during the prolonged depression from
which the country has not yet fully re
covered. What they want lo hear is
something to revive hope and eonli-
deuce , and this Is not to be got from
democratic talk. Hence the meetings
of the democracy In Iowa have been
small In numbers and tame in spirit ,
On the other hand , the republican gatherings -
erings have been largely attended , en-
thnslnstlc and coiitldent. They grow
with every discussion of the Issue that
brings more clearly and strongly to the
minds of men the destructive and deso
lating character of thu democratic threat
to tear down the defenses which protec
tion has erected to safeguard American
industries nnd American labor.
The people of Iowa arcs among the
most Intelligent lu thu country , and they
have been umong the most prosperous.
They do not need to be told why they
are less prosperous now than they were
two years ago , before the democratic
parly wns elected to the control of tlio
government. , , iliey know perfeclly well
when the period , of distrust nud depres
sion set In jintKtlicy nrc entirely famil
iar with Its $ \is ) . The panic that fol
lowed quickly -after the HIICCPHH of the
democratic p.irl.v In IS)2 ! ) wns not due to
any lack of uiolfey. The per capita of
currency In the .country nt that time was
greater than nt almost any other period
In our history while the saving * of the
people from tiit ) prosperity of the pre
ceding years linti grown lo an unprece
dented nnuiuuL It was not due , as the
democrats assume for the purpose of
shifting their respoimlblllty , to the ap
prehension of the moneyed Interests of
Hie country , fur the gold reserve In the
treasury , upon which rested the credit
of the government , wns unimpaired , the
national treasury was getting all the
revenue It iK'cded to meet current ex
penditures , ami tliero was practical
igreement between both imlitleal
ties that the purchase of sliver by the
government should stop. There wns. in
deed. some fear that the democrats
would prove faithless to their promise
lu this respect , but il uns not such as
to cause 41 panic , The panic was due
to the fear which took possession of the
industrial interests in consequence of
the ileiiKH.'fatlo. threat 1o overturn the
[ ) oliey under which those Interests had
lieen developed , and under which the
American laborer and the American pro
ducer had enjoyed a higher degree of
prosperity than those of any other land
under the sun.
All this the Intelligent people of I own
ire familiar with , and they also know
that their state roall/.ed a steady Increase
of wealth under the tariff policy of the
republican parly. According to the cen
sus , as quoted by Senator Allison In a
recent speech , the increase was $1H7 per
rap ! tti In the ton years preceding KSIHI.
It lias not grown during the last two
VCMVS , hut doubtless , in common with
the wealth of nearly every other slate ,
ll ins declined. If the dcmoiTntic assur-
llI
ince that , the war on protection shall ho
mudo good , as most certainly it. will be
that party letains control of the house
if representatives , the wealth of Iowa
ind all the * other states will still further
decline I , for ( lie result of the carrying out
if that assurance must inevitably lie a
greater paralysis of all industries than
they luivo yet experienced. In the su
premely ] ( Important matter of electing a
republican , , congress the people of Iowa
will not full lu do their whole duty.
1'ho Indications are that they will send
t solid republican1 delegation to the
I-'lf ty-fourt li congress.

Thomas F. Itayard is a distinguished
member ! l of the ifeiiHicratic party. He
has ! represented It in the senate and In
the cabinet. . .He Is m.vv ambassador to
. ,
Kngland. Mr. JJayard returned to thu
United States , a short tlnus.'ligo , It-was
presumed , for a'vacation , but as now
appears realist ftir the purpose of help
ing his party hi Delaware In a contest
which promises to end In Its defeat.
What Mr. UayniMj says , however , will be
read by tons iff , thousands oytside of his
little mate'ami : bK-aune lu Jls regarded
as something more than a politician It
will be given a degree of consideration
not accorded to the utterances of the
ordinary politician , always ready to
make any statement that may advance
j1
his party's or his personal interest.
In his speech at Dover on Tuesday It
appears that Mr. Itayard had much to
say about the surplus , which for years
has figured prominently In democratic.1
arraignments ' of the republican party , i
Formerly II was tlu > accumulation of u
surplus that the democrats denounced ,
declaring that piling up money In the
treasury not only deprived ( lie people rf
Us use , which they were entitled to , but
was a dangerous Incentive to extrava
gance. Tlio lust republican administra
tion gave back to the people most of the
surplus , paying it out in reducing Ihu
public debt , In Increased pensions to
union ! ' soldiers and their descendants , In
improving the ulllcloncy nnd usefulness
of the public service , and other com
mendable ways. Now the democratic
parly Is denouncing the republicans for
thus disposing of the surplus , although
;
It does not attempt to show spceilically
that any of it was uiuvlso'y crie.kles.sly
expended.
Hut Mr. Bayard goes farther than
most of the democratic leaders In his
attempt to fasten on the republican
party the responsibility for the present
condition of the national treasury. Hu
Is ie ; > rr od rs iiiylng in his Rover hpi'L-h :
that the party emptied the treasury and
put ' It In debt , leaving to the democrats
to shoulder the ruin the republicans had
wrought. This has the ring of the
average politician , reckless of his state
ments , Now the truth Is there wan
not a year of the last republican administration
II
istration I In which the revenue of the
government did not meet the current
expenditures. For the Mscal year endIng -
Ing June < Hi , 181)0 , the revenue exceeded
the expenditures by $105,000.000. and
the dcmooiats said , such a surplussho : Id
not be allowed to continue. The Mo-
(
Klnlcy law warti passed and went Into
effect In Octollvr of that year , taking
$10,000,0 ! < X ) fy-iun1 the revenue by thu
'
abolition of they'll ) ' on raw sugars. For
the liscnl year t'ltdlng .lime : ) , ISIM , the
revenue exceeded the expenditures by
.f.7,0X ( ,0K . , For , the llscal year endIng -
Ing June ! ! 0 , I8'.rj , < the revenue exceeded
the expenditure liy nearly $10,000,000.
nnd even for tliyi.lfrcal year ending Juno
0. 18IW , in lh hint portion of which the
revenue was o ef-tod by the disturbance
of business resulting from the threat
ened tariff revolution , the revenue ex
ceeded the expeilditures by $2a)0,00 ( ) ( ) ,
The trcasutjt'jjold reserve wan never
lirvadcd to tluvestont of a dollar during
the Harrison administration , and when
the present administration came Into
power there was gold In the treasury to
the amount of $ . " > ,000,000 in excess of
that reserve Hint IB , n total of $105-
000,000. Whnt him happened Blnco la
matter of familiar history. Tlio reve
nue of the government lias run steadily
below expenditures , the national debt
lina been Increased by n loan of $5S-
000.000 , and the gold reserve created to
redeem the paper obligations of ( he gov
ernment Is now $40.000,000 less than the
amount which had been maintained
under republican administrations since
tile time of thn resumption of specie
payments. To quote Mr. Haynrd , "It
stands written forever In history" that
the distrust and depression caused by
the democratic threat of a tariff revolu
tion Is responsible for this condition.
.7. Adam IJode , fulled .Stales marshal
for the district of Minnesota , resigned
his qlllce because IIP feared that
he could not perform the du
ties of his olllcc satisfactorily and
devote his attention to assisting his
frlendrt running for olllce at the same
time. The federal otllclals In this neck-
o-woods have no such scruples of con
science. They see nothing Inconsistent
or objectionable In drawing salaries as
democratic federal appointees and
spending all their time and energy In
seeking to boost a railroad republican
Into olllco. The resignation of a federal -
oral olllce holder in Nebraska for the
reasons which prompted Marshal Ilode's
retirement would be more startling
than n bomb exploding in ( lie midst of
a large popular gathering.
The New York Times , that staunch
administration organ , halls as "good
news from North Carolina" a report
that the democrats feel confident of
electing seven out of the nine represent
atives in congress. Tills must be good
news Indeed. In the present congress
eight members from North Carolina
were elected as democrats and the
ninth bad to undergo n contest for his
seat. If the democrats now concede
their opponents two congressional places
from North Carolina , what can they ex
pect In other states ? The democrats
will probably rejoice over the good news
when they hear that Mississippi has
again gone democratic.
Senator Hill's declaration that "the
strife of o'hor years Ins left no bitfernes t
In ids heart" was Intended expressly
for the consumption of President Clever
land. Unless a similar declaration is
soon made by the president them Is
great danger that all the bitterness of
the anti-simp campaign will again take
possession of Senator Hill , head , heart ,
hands and all.

cause a seiiHntlnn In Washington , but It
certainly an urtllk-tal sensation , much more

Those were good old days of voting1 when the
speakers used to speak , and allor
speaking spent their money , for
their barrels didn't leak. But the
times have greatly altered , and
they'll talk for near a weak , with
out spending half a dollar , 'cause
that barrel's sprung a leak. All they do is simply tell
us that the other side is weak , and has "broke" the
hoops of progress which has lot the barrel leak ,
Everybody ia watching the littla leaks and economy
in production is practiced by the clothing makers.
We are pretty well up at the head of the list in the
matter of economical production. Wo never sacrifice
quality or honesty in the make up for the sakeof
cheapness , but for $7.50 , $8.50 or $10 , we can giva a
real good all wool business suit in a sack or a cuta

$12.50 , $15 and $18 suits. They are the things for
